Well guess what.....it turns out that the original "secondary cup" seal and spring were installed BACKWARDS. This is probably the cause of the...
Ok, I soaked the existing plates over night and reinstalled today. As I sort of expected, when the lever was operated nothing moved. But I learned...
Thanks, I'm going to put it back together tomorrow. I'm wondering though, can I try operating the clutch lever while the cover is off? I'm curious...
Removed the clutch plates tonight. When I pulled them out the whole stack stuck together just strong enough to be held in the air. When I took...
Somewhere between 115 and 125 on my 1986 500. Any faster than that and this pos would probably crumble apart
Hahaha fair enough man. I didn't see any lever though. I guess I'm going to drain the oil and pop off the clutch cover to inspect these plates....
I thought about checking this. I took this bike out of 3 year storage recently and the clutch never did feel correct. But it gradually got worse...
First off, thanks for posting your procedure. This is the kind of information I was hoping to get :smile:. I started by pinching the line and...
And do what exactly? I tried pinching the line. That's why I replaced the MC internal parts but its still doing the same shit.
OK, I replaced the piston set, seals, and push rod. Still nothing. I noticed that when I'm bleeding the line, air bubbles rise to the top of the...
Wow, I think that thread you wrote just about explains everything. Thanks for pointing me to it. My issue was clutch did little, after...
Have you made any progress on this? I am having the same problem and am about to purchase parts for the MC or SC but I'm curious what, if...
As far as the master cylinder goes, what "seals" do I need to be replacing? There are lots of pistons and hoses but the only rubber seal I see is...
I did just change the oil when I took this thing out of storage. I used a high mileage type and I've been wondering if this was the wrong thing to...
Ive always tried to be easy on the clutch considering its age. The previous owner may have been hard on it though, as he is generally known for...
Okay so I bled the system according to the service manual. I drained the master cylinder completely, wiped dirt out of it, and then refilled it...
Yeah I was reading in other threads about similiar issues. I am going to drain the system and look inside the MC for blockage or dirt before I...
Can someone please move this thread to the mechanics garage section? I'm going to be working on this Saturday and I feel I may have better luck...
Thanks, I will see if this works when I get some time. As long as I can remember, the shifter on this bike has been stiff so I wonder if this has...
By disengage, I mean that when I squeeze the clutch lever in first gear, it still grabs first gear enough to pull the bike foward. Yesterday I...
